Where to stay in Richmond, VA
We stayed at The Graduate in downtown
- Convenient location for downtown dining and attractions, as well as getting out and about to other parts of the RVA
- Comfy family suite: The kids loved their bunk beds, and we parents enjoyed our own spacious room
- Rooftop pool and lounge: Full circle view of the city and surrounding countryside
When we wanted to be at the hotel but not in the room, the Graduate Richmond gave us lobby spaces for work and play. Plus, the responsive staff made our stay so much easier and fun.
